Hi, thanks for playing!
All I did was the design, animation, and code. Most of the 3D art was from kenney.nl. The HDRI/panorama texture was from freestylized.com. The road assets were provided tile-based, which allowed me to use Godot's GridMap node for the majority of the level design. The asset pack already came with a curved slope tile, so all I needed to do was give it an automated Trimesh collision shape and align the Path3D that the cars follow along that slope, which wasn't difficult with its built-in bezier curves.
I went for a goofy theme, because as much as I enjoy a nice and dark setting, I've noticed that often people are more likely to overlook unpolished elements if the game gives them a good laugh.
Its very messy, but I decided to release the source code on GitHub: https://github.com/CrankyCranton/freehand-driving
Nice time! I was considering following the theme, but I couldn't think of an easy way to make horse controls, so I decided to go with cars instead, since the theme was optional anyway. But thinking back, I probably could have used the same control scheme and themed it as a horse.
Thanks for the review, and glad you had fun!
This was incredibly hard for me to beat haha.My Laptop gave me like 10FPS (it gave its best) andI felt like the gas pedaland gravity was very strong. (maybe beacuaseof my framerate?) Otherwise I thought the Idea and use of the limitation was great. You managed to deliver on the idea as well. Also the cars ramming me from behind were very hard to deal with, until I noticed that I can ride in the middle of the road and be fine.Wow, the fact that you could beat it at 10 FPS is impressive! If you were playing on the web version, you might want to try the downloadable version for better performance. The 3D graphics can slow the game down quite a bit.
Thanks for playing!
